NO DUREX, WE DON’T NEED A CONDOM EMOJI
NO DUREX, WE DON’T NEED A CONDOM EMOJI
There are a lot of things we need in this world, but a condom emoji isn’t one of them. International condom brand Durex believes we need one, and is taking the necessary steps to get one made.Look, Durex, we get it. It’s in your best interest for a condom design to be added to the keyboard of the million other useless emojis (and the dozen or so useful ones).
